More than one and a half dozen girls have gone missing from the protest site of farmers at the Singhu-Kundli border, the hotspot that was in the news after a mutilated corpse of a man was found hanging on a police barricade on Friday morning.
According to a report published in Dainik Jagran, the protest site where the alleged farmers are camping since last November had gradually devolved into a crime hub, where all sorts of unlawful activities flourish in the name of protests. This has also made it difficult for women to safely navigate the place. Similarly, local shopkeepers have also complained of bullying and harassment at the hands of the so-called farmers who are dwelling at the protest site.
As per the report, the police have been constantly getting complaints of missing girls from the colonies situated close to the Singhu-Kundli border, but they are reluctant to take action on this matter. The heft of protesters in the area is such that even after complaints are filed against them, the law enforcement officials are not willing to initiate action against them.
Additionally, the local shopkeepers in the area claim that they have been attacked with swords and spears by the protesters. Recently, a video of the Khalistani flag being installed on a vehicle in this area had also gone viral.
The report of missing girls came hot on the heels of the death of a Dalit man, who was brutally mutilated and hung to a police barricade, allegedly for blasphemy against Guru Granth Sahib. But long before his ruthless murder, there have been reports of how the camping sites have turned into breeding grounds for criminals and thugs. In April this year, a girl from West Bengal, who came here to take part in the movement, was raped. The victim girl had died later, on April 30. In March 2021, there was an incident of firing at the protest site.
